The Barnett Jackal Crossbow Package w Red Dot Sight 78404 has all you need whether you are a beginner or an old pro. The Jackal's innovative stock design is unique to our crossbow line up. Its sleek military style stock is lightweight and compact with a divided foregrip for comfortable hand placement. The quad limb assembly is combined with high energy cams and a synthetic string and cable system producing arrow speeds of 315 feet per second. The combination of the lightweight stock and the power this bow delivers makes it a devastating weapon for any hunter. The Jackal delivers the power and features of a "high priced" bow at a price that makes this crossbow an excellent value for everyone.

Technology:

This crossbow features Barnett's ADF MIM trigger providing for a smooth 3.5 lb. trigger pull and the added benefits of a picatinny rail. The MIM trigger is metal injected molded which allows for the tightest quality tolerances available. This results in less jerking and ultimately tighter groups.

This ADF (Anti Dry Fire) Trigger is a state of the art mechanism that protects the user from shooting the weapon without an arrow in place. The patented Anti Dry Fire Trigger has a spring loaded redundant safety bar that remains in place until the arrow is seated properly, which finally allows the user to switch the safety off and shoot the bow.

The stock, trigger mechanism and limbs are covered under a five year limited warranty. Our liability extends to parts and labor.
Not covered are: strings, cables, arrows, transportation of product to our Service Center; damage caused by abuse, modification or failure to perform normal maintenance; or any other expense, consequential damages, coincidental damages, or incidental expenses including damage to property or person.

Yes,right out of the box hit the center of the target at thirty yards! I was amazed at the price for the brand of crossbow ! This is perfect crossbow for the average hunter! I have other crossbows the cost was higher performance is the same to this crossbow!

I do not know about the item. It has not been removed from the original carton. I have rated the "Value" and "Quality" as 3 stars, but I cannot truly give a good evaluation. I believe Barnett makes a good crossbow and do not want to give "no reply" as it may knock down the over-all rating.

got the bow for an early Christmas present...shoots great BUT on only the second time out the Barnett red dot sight went dead after a shot....the tip adjuster cap seemed loose and in fact fell off completely while walking out of the woods...Barnett sometimes has great customer service...guess we will find out...

Sorry, but my purchase is a Christmas present for my stepson as I write this 12/7/14. One thing I can tell you was the price was right for this crossbow and the whole process from ordering to delivery with RuralKing.com was top notch.

well lets start seemed awesome out of the box the red dot even works! ok after about 30 shots scope is off adjusted then 5 more shots off again! adjusted again after closer inspection the scope is mounted to the trigger mech. it had came loose tightened 20 shots loose again prompted a call to Barnett folks this is mounted in plastic with a allen head screw INTO PLASTIC they did use a brass plug in the plastic they suggested thread locker tried it 30 more shots loose again remember just a partial thread but it throws the scope off they assured me if and when it falls off they will repair or replace ok mine went back! this problem could be fixed by simply backing it with some steel or aluminum but brass is soft it holds the scope and a 150 pound string its not going to last! this is the newest design I should add with the new stock system I would suggest checking yours if you start shooting low!

Great service and speedy delivery from Rural King, Bow went together just great. Easy to assemble. Haven't been able to use it yet but very anxious. Seems like the real deal! Would have been happy with a bit more detail on the cocking, safety and trigger detail. Safety stuck on when I first loaded it and had to google how to solve that situation. This is certainly a weakness of the instructions. Other than that, So far so good!

Rural King was very easy to deal with, the crossbow I got was a real value, as I'm new to hunting with a crossbow, I thought this would be a good place to start. I'm not to sure about the Red dot scope, I have plans to replace it with a different type of scope. I can only hope it shoots as good as it looks. thanks Rural King for such speedy delivery.

I think most people will not be able to cock the 150lb crossbow without a cocking rope device, so it would be better if Barnett included it in the kit, especially since no crank device is available fro this bow. I agree the bolt reatiner is a weak link, bolts fall out easily, plasic holder should be metal/plastic so tension can be put on it adequietly. I too have weak eye sight so I plan to replace the red dot scope soon.. However, it was very easy to zero in the crossbow on the top dot for 20 yards and bow shoots very accurately. Haven't tried it futhr out yet. I recomend tis bow for a starter, like me, but if you are going to use regularly spend more $, get a bow that a crank cocker can be added if desired...As you age, (65yrs old) it gets harder to pull cock... For th price it's a great, powerful crossbow.

This crossbow is great and accurate.
Although I don't care for the red dot sight.
My eye sight is not as good as it used to be and was hard to sight in the red dot pass 20 yards.
So I put a Horton scope on it and at 40 yards it is dead on.
Haven't tried it at 50 yards because I wouldn't be shooting any thing that far out.
But you just cannot go wrong with this bow.
I've probably fired it 200 times and there is barely any string wear showing.
Great crossbow!!!!!!!

this is a sturdy, solid crossbow. Shoots with so much power that I had to build a new target to handle it. Very good safety features as well. The scope is very well designed for this crossbow. I am really having fun with it and look forward to doing some serious hunting with it as well.

Only issue I had was over tightening the head bolt which made the cable come off the flight rail. Snug the head bolt down and give it a quarter turn only. The Head Bolt is the bolt that connects the bow to the stock. Other that that this thing is a Monster...........

Very well made. Great trigger and safety system,FAST---our test showed much faster then stated. Heavy, for being a lighter then ave. crossbow.
The arrow retainer is a weak link, plastic (but strong)no ajustment for pressure or alingment(flex to ajust). The red dot sight is in my opinion, is pretty much junk--no instructions for yardage - I set mine at 20-30-40, 40 yards shot a little high more like 45 yards but arrow flight fell off 8" at 50 yards---I am going to replace it.

This year is the 4th season I have hunted with my jackal. It is a good general use bow, but I am now looking to upgrade. I have 3 issues after four seasons 1. draw string started fraying last year. 2. quiver snapped of while trying to remove it. 3. The guide that holds the bolt i place does not function properly. The bold wants to fall out all the time.

not a bad starter bow, but I now wish I had spent $100 or $200 more and got something a lil better.

I bought 2 of theses crossbows for my grandsons. I have owned crossbows in the past and presently hunt with a compound. The crossbows allow my grandsons to start bow hunting much earlier than with a compound bow. I put these two bows together and mounted the red dot scopes. Went together easily and the quality of the bows seemed to be very good. overall I am very happy with the items I received, they were shipped super fast and beat the price of the big name hunting stores by about a hundred dollars each, plus free shipping. I would highly recommend Rural King to anyone!!

I have bought several products from Rural King and have been very happy with the company.I first bought an SA sport Fever crossbow,my first from another company and it was okay.I started looking at the Barnett Jackal and when I found it at such a good price at Rural King I bought it. I'm very happy with this crossbow and how it performs.The only small problem I have incountered is after a few shoots the bolt that holds the bow to the rail has to be retightened.

The Jackal Crossbow is everything someone would want in a "whole package" introduction to crossbows. Was leery of the red dot sight, but find it is great. The only thing I added to complete the bow was the purchase of a cocking rope. It made pulling the draw string a lot easier. I am truly impressed in what I got for the money.

Best price I could find anywhere, well below MSRP. Crossbow is easy to assemble, took less than 10 minutes. Red dot took a very long time to zero in, lots of people say it is dead on out of the box. I wish I had got one of those boxes!

I did a good bit of research on the Barnett Jackal Crossbow package. When I got ready to make my purchase Rural King had the best price anywhere. I had never heard of Rural King but decided to give them a try. I am glad I did. The crossbow was exactly as described and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Rural King undersold a well known brick and mortar discount store by $80 on this product. That is amazing.

Can't wait to take my first deer with this bow.

Very durable, quick, and shot a bullseye right out of the box. Barnett stands behind thier product, no questions asked. very happy definately recommend it. Only con is it could use silencers on string.

This was by far the best buy I have ever made! Rural King you made a customer for life, you offer this crossbow at a very reasonable price! I LOVE this crossbow what else can I say..buy it you cant go wrong!

This crossbow is by far the best one for the money. Built tough enough to hunt with. Rural Kings price is the best around, and their order processing was grade A. Only drawback is Barnett built this on a new style stock which does not except a hand crank.

It is a great crossbow. Had difficulty putting it together because nothing was said about the plastic string guide until I had it put together. So I had to take it apart and get it back together with the white plastic guide. This took 2 of us to get it back together.

Can't beat this deal. Best price I found anywhere. Delivered on time, packaged well. As far as the bow, it's amazing. Everything I was hoping it would be. Built strong and once you have it sighted in, its dead accurate. Buy it! You can't go wrong. Thanks again for great service..

Wow I was looking at cross bows about 10 years ago and the price for a good was insane. So when I started looking again and found this Bow I could not believe the price. I read all the reviews and watched youtube vids and Chose this one. I love it went together easy shoots great. I will be a return Customer to Rural King Fast free shipping, Great product at the best price I could find. Thank you

I have wanted a crossbow since I was a teenager, but this is the first for me and I love it. I am 71 years old, so I need the rope cocking device to get it cocked. Even if I were 40 years younger, I would use the rope because it applies pressure evenly at the correct places on the string. The Jakal appears to be well made and is amazingly accurate. I needed only 6 shots to get the Red Dot Sight set for shots of 25 yards, then consistently hit the "bulls eye" thereafter. Not bad for an old guy.

The specs state that the length is 20" for this bow. How is this measurement taken? The IL DNR web site states: •have a minimum overall length (from butt of stock to front of limb) of 24 inches. I just want to make sure that I would be legal using this item to hunt with.

Thank you,

Mary

PS: I am not sure if you received an earlier submitted question from me or not - my computer decided not to co-operate with me so you may or may not have gotten an earlier one. I am sorry if this is duplicated.

Hello Jim,
The actual measurements were 31.5" from front to back and 26.75" wide. The 20" is referring to the suggest length of the bow you should use.
